Objectification? I think not !
The other day I was watching a sitcom on TV and one of the girls happened to go through a process that enhanced her breast size (it was not an operation, just a temporary fix, for those of you who would be wondering). Well she sits next to a guy on the couch, who happens to be zoned out in his video game at the time. Needless, to say being a guy the guy notices and starts staring at her breasts. To that the girl responds by saying "Don't objectify me !". Now to a lot of women that would seem is what guys do, but ladies I ask you a question, why do you try so hard with make-up, breast implants, liposuction etc. if not but to try and gain a man's attention? Why do it if you don't want to be objectified? Do you not for once stop to think that what you are doing is really not the guy's fault but your own?
Once you have achieved your objective you casually toss the man away by putting him on the defensive with this objectification allegation ! Think for a while ladies, you do this to yourself so you may appeal yourself to men. Men do not go around asking women to wear make-up. Ask the men of the world and plenty of them would say they would rather not have their women wear make-up. Take a look at the Barbie doll that millions of girls around the world play with. Her figure was made keeping in mind what the perfect girl would look like. This sends a very wrong message to young women. Already they are in the "objectification trap". So ladies of the world please if you do not like guys oogling at you then lose the tank tops, the tight jeans, the mini-skirts because you give guys a reason to stare at you and then you blame it one us, oh so conveniently.

A lot of girls would reply by saying that they do it for their own self-esteem. For their own confidence, to make themselves happy.
You could argue back by saying that this too is related, albeit indirectly, to men. After all, many women do get a self-esteem boost when men notice them.
then they are weak
